that built Western Europe&rsquo;s first indigenous attack helicopter. About 6,000 people, roughly 175 aircraft and six flying regiments fly the A129 Mangusta, the NH90, the Chinook and a legacy of Agusta-Bell Hueys that is older than most of the crews. Its record is genuinely hard: Somalia, the Balkans, Iraq, thirteen unbroken years over Herat and an unbroken helicopter detachment in south Lebanon since 1979. Its problem is equally plain. The Mangusta went to war in 1993 and is still going; the AW249 Fenice meant to replace it was contracted in January 2017, first flew in August 2022 and will not reach a regiment before 2027.<\/p>\n<div class=\"marks\">\n<div class=\"mcol\">\n<div class=\"mark\"><span class=\"mk\">National marking<b>The coccarda &mdash; green centre, white ring, red outer &mdash; carried by every Italian military aircraft.

On 10 May 1951 the ministry of war set up a Nucleo di Aviazione Leggera at the artillery school at Bracciano, north of Rome; by December it had become the Reparto Aereo di Artiglieria, and in 1952 the strip at Monte dell&rsquo;Oro ran the first pilot-observer course. The equipment was sixty-five Piper L-18 Cubs and thirty-seven Super Cubs. The obstacle was not money but law: the Aeronautica Militare had a statutory monopoly on military flying, and the army was permitted only what the air force did not want. That single legal fact shaped everything the arm became.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1956&ndash;1990: the weight limit, the Hueys and the Chinook<\/h3>\n<p>The monopoly broke in 1956, when the rule was rewritten to reserve to the air force only fixed-wing aircraft above 1,500 kg. Helicopters were not covered, and the army took the opening with both hands. An experimental helicopter unit formed in 1956 on the Agusta-Bell 47G; in September 1958 the first and second helicopter units stood up at Casarsa della Delizia and Bolzano, where their descendants still sit. Then came the Huey years: forty-eight AB-204B in 1963, a hundred and five AB-205 in 1965, a hundred and fifty AB-206 in 1967, and in 1973 the first CH-47C Chinook, built under licence at Frosinone by Elicotteri Meridionali. By the late 1970s the army, not the air force, was Italy&rsquo;s helicopter service.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1978&ndash;1993: the Mangusta &mdash; Europe&rsquo;s first home-grown attack helicopter<\/h3>\n<p>In 1978 Agusta began work on something no European company had attempted: an attack helicopter designed as one from the first drawing, rather than a utility machine with guns bolted on. The A129 Mangusta first flew on 11 September 1983 &mdash; Italian sources give 15 September as the official date &mdash; and it was a genuinely clever aeroplane. Two engines where the American AH-1 Cobra had one, a four-blade composite rotor, a digital integrated management system years ahead of its time, and a fuselage narrow enough to be hard to see head-on. Deliveries began around 1990. It was also small, underpowered and, at first, unarmed except for TOW missiles and rockets: the 20 mm turret came only with the CBT standard in 2002.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1990&ndash;2006: Namibia, Somalia, the Balkans and Iraq &mdash; the arm goes to war<\/h3>\n<p>The arm&rsquo;s war record began quietly, with a month in Namibia in 1990 and Operation Provide Comfort over Iraqi Kurdistan in 1991, and then did not stop. Thirteen helicopters went to Somalia in December 1992 as ITALHELY: three A129, six AB-205 and four CH-47C. On 2 July 1993, at the checkpoint the Italians called Pasta, a Mangusta destroyed a captured Iveco VM 90 with a TOW missile &mdash; the A129 Mangusta&rsquo;s combat debut, and the first combat firing by an Italian-designed attack helicopter. Three Italian soldiers died that day. Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia and Kosovo followed through the 1990s, and Iraq from July 2003. On 31 May 2005 an AB-412 flew into bad weather south-east of Nasiriyah and four men were killed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">2007&ndash;2021: thirteen years over Herat, and the fleet that wore out doing it<\/h3>\n<p>Afghanistan is the campaign that defined the modern arm and used it up. Task force Fenice flew out of Herat from 2007 to 2020 under ISAF and then Resolute Support, covering Herat, Badghis, Farah and Ghor &mdash; an area the size of northern Italy with about four million people. The Mangusta alone logged 13,500 flying hours there, escorting, watching and shooting, working beside the RQ-7 Shadow and American Apaches. It was the type&rsquo;s making and its undoing: an airframe designed for anti-tank work on the north German plain spent thirteen years in Afghan dust and heat at weights it was never sized for. The last CH-47C, in service since 1973, flew for the final time in September 2021.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">2022&ndash;2026: the Fenice, the Friuli merger, and a replacement forty years in the making<\/h3>\n<p>What the arm has now is a fleet in three ages at once. The NH90 is modern and complete &mdash; all sixty UH-90A delivered by 25 November 2022. The sixteen ICH-47F are new. But the AB-205 that the 34&#176; Distaccamento &quot;Toro&quot; flies over the Alps came off the Agusta line in the early 1970s, and the Mangusta is still the attack helicopter. The AW249 Fenice was contracted in January 2017, flew on 12 August 2022, and the last twenty-nine of the forty-eight were only approved on 29 October 2025, for 1.2 billion euros; the first delivery is promised for 2027 and the fleet complete by 2035. Meanwhile, on 1 October 2023, the Brigata Aviazione dell&rsquo;Esercito was folded into the Brigata Aeromobile &quot;Friuli&quot;, putting every flying regiment under one brigade for the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">The monopoly broke in 1956, when the rule was rewritten to reserve to the air force only fixed-wing aircraft above 1,500 kg.

It is not an air force and not part of one. Italy keeps four military flying organisations: the Aeronautica Militare, the navy&rsquo;s Aviazione Navale, the Carabinieri helicopter service and the army&rsquo;s AVES. The army arm exists to move, protect and support troops on the ground, so almost everything it flies is a helicopter.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What helicopters does the Italian Army fly?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The attack helicopter is the Agusta AH-129C\/D Mangusta, about 37 of them. The transport fleet is 59 NHIndustries UH-90A (the NH90 TTH) and 16 <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/ch-47-chinook\/\">CH-47F Chinook<\/a>. Below that sits a legacy of Agusta-Bell Hueys &mdash; about 34 UH-205A, about 12 UH-212 and about 6 HH-412A &mdash; which the new Leonardo UH-169D is replacing. The only fixed-wing aircraft are three Dornier Do 228 and three Piaggio P.180, and the tactical drone is the RQ-7C Shadow 200.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the AW129 Mangusta and why does it matter?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The A129 Mangusta, later AW129, was the first attack helicopter designed and built in Western Europe from a clean sheet. Agusta began work in 1978 and the prototype flew on 11 September 1983. It had two engines where the American AH-1 Cobra had one, a four-blade composite rotor and a digital integrated management system that was ahead of anything else flying. Italy took delivery from about 1990 and it has been the country&rsquo;s only attack helicopter ever since.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Has the Mangusta ever been used in combat?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes. Its first shot in anger came in Somalia on 2 July 1993, at the Mogadishu checkpoint the Italians called Pasta, when a Mangusta destroyed a captured Iveco VM 90 with a TOW missile. It later flew in the Balkans and in Iraq, and its longest campaign was Afghanistan: the type logged 13,500 flying hours out of Herat between 2007 and 2020 with task force Fenice, escorting convoys and helicopters and providing fire support over Herat, Badghis, Farah and Ghor.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is replacing the Mangusta, and when?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The Leonardo AW249, in Italian army service the AH-249A Fenice. The programme was launched with a 487 million euro contract in January 2017, the prototype flew on 12 August 2022 and the aircraft made its first public flying display at ILA Berlin in June 2026. Forty-eight are on order: nineteen across the first two tranches and twenty-nine approved on 29 October 2025 for about 1.2 billion euros. The first delivery is promised for 2027 and the fleet is due to be complete around 2035.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why has it taken so long to replace the Mangusta?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Because the decision was repeatedly deferred and then the aircraft was developed slowly. A replacement was already being discussed in the 2000s; the launch contract came only in January 2017, the first flight slipped from 2020 to August 2022, and the final production tranche was approved in October 2025. By the time the first Fenice reaches a regiment in 2027 the Mangusta will have been Italy&rsquo;s only attack helicopter for about thirty-seven years. The upside is that the AW249 is genuinely new &mdash; eight tonnes, three hours&rsquo; endurance, designed from the start to control drones and loitering munitions.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Where is the Italian Army Aviation based?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The command, the training centre, the 1&#176; Reggimento &quot;Antares&quot;, the 3&#176; Reggimento special operations helicopters and the support brigade are all at Viterbo. The 5&#176; Reggimento &quot;Rigel&quot; is at Casarsa della Delizia in Friuli, the 7&#176; &quot;Vega&quot; at Rimini, the 2&#176; &quot;Sirio&quot; at Lamezia Terme, the 4&#176; &quot;Altair&quot; at Bolzano with a permanent detachment at Venaria Reale, and there is a further detachment at Cagliari-Elmas. Support regiments sit at Bracciano, Bologna and Orio al Serio.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why are the regiments named after stars?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">They are. Antares, Sirio, Aldebaran, Altair, Rigel, Vega, and below them squadron groups called Ercole, Tucano, Pegaso, Cefeo, Mercurio, Capricorno, Cigno, Pavone, Giove, Orsa Maggiore, Toro and Auriga. The naming is a navigational conceit that fits an arm whose whole job is to find its way across country at low level, and it has stuck since the reorganisation of the mid-1970s.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is ITALAIR?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">ITALAIR is the Italian army helicopter unit attached to the United Nations force in Lebanon, based at Naqoura on the coast since 3 July 1979. It flies reconnaissance, liaison, transport and medical evacuation for UNIFIL, and it is the longest continuous deployment in Italian military aviation &mdash; more than forty-five years without a break. It moved to a new heliport, the New Land site, in July 2009. Crews rotate from the AVES regiments, mainly the 2&#176; &quot;Sirio&quot;.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Has the Italian Army Aviation lost people on operations?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes, and the two worst losses are well documented. On 6 August 1997 an ITALAIR AB-205 crashed on a night flight between UN positions in south Lebanon, killing Maggiore Antonino Sgr&#242;, Maggiore Giuseppe Parisi, Primo Maresciallo Massimo Gatti, Brigadiere Daniel Forner and the Irish sergeant John Lynch. On 31 May 2005 an AB-412 came down in bad weather south-east of Nasiriyah in Iraq, killing Massimiliano Biondini, Marco Briganti, Marco Cirillo and Giuseppe Lima. Italy has not published an AVES-specific casualty figure for Afghanistan and we do not estimate one.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is the Italian Army Aviation the same as the Italian Air Force?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">No, and the distinction has a legal history. Until 1956 the Aeronautica Militare had a statutory monopoly on military flying, and the army could fly only what the air force permitted. The law was then rewritten to reserve to the air force only fixed-wing aircraft above 1,500 kg, which left helicopters open; the army built its whole air arm in that gap. The name still shows it: the arm was called <em>light<\/em> army aviation until 12 June 1993.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who trains Italian Army helicopter pilots?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Basic rotary-wing training is done by the air force. Its 72&#176; Stormo taught every Italian military helicopter pilot &mdash; army, navy, air force, Carabinieri, police, customs and fire service &mdash; at Frosinone from 1955, and moved the school to Viterbo on 15 January 2026. Type conversion and tactics are then done by the army&rsquo;s own Centro Addestrativo AVES at Viterbo, with the 1&#176; Gruppo Squadroni &quot;Auriga&quot;.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the Aviazione dell\\u2019Esercito?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"It is the Italian army\\u2019s own air arm \\u2014 about 6,000 people, roughly 175 aircraft and seven flying regiments, with its command at Viterbo.

The army arm exists to move, protect and support troops on the ground, so almost everything it flies is a helicopter.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What helicopters does the Italian Army fly?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The attack helicopter is the Agusta AH-129C\/D Mangusta, about 37 of them. The transport fleet is 59 NHIndustries UH-90A (the NH90 TTH) and 16 CH-47F Chinook. Below that sits a legacy of Agusta-Bell Hueys \\u2014 about 34 UH-205A, about 12 UH-212 and about 6 HH-412A \\u2014 which the new Leonardo UH-169D is replacing. The only fixed-wing aircraft are three Dornier Do 228 and three Piaggio P.180, and the tactical drone is the RQ-7C Shadow 200.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the AW129 Mangusta and why does it matter?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The A129 Mangusta, later AW129, was the first attack helicopter designed and built in Western Europe from a clean sheet. Agusta began work in 1978 and the prototype flew on 11 September 1983. It had two engines where the American AH-1 Cobra had one, a four-blade composite rotor and a digital integrated management system that was ahead of anything else flying. Italy took delivery from about 1990 and it has been the country\\u2019s only attack helicopter ever since.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Has the Mangusta ever been used in combat?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes. Its first shot in anger came in Somalia on 2 July 1993, at the Mogadishu checkpoint the Italians called Pasta, when a Mangusta destroyed a captured Iveco VM 90 with a TOW missile. It later flew in the Balkans and in Iraq, and its longest campaign was Afghanistan: the type logged 13,500 flying hours out of Herat between 2007 and 2020 with task force Fenice, escorting convoys and helicopters and providing fire support over Herat, Badghis, Farah and Ghor.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is replacing the Mangusta, and when?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The Leonardo AW249, in Italian army service the AH-249A Fenice. The programme was launched with a 487 million euro contract in January 2017, the prototype flew on 12 August 2022 and the aircraft made its first public flying display at ILA Berlin in June 2026. Forty-eight are on order: nineteen across the first two tranches and twenty-nine approved on 29 October 2025 for about 1.2 billion euros. The first delivery is promised for 2027 and the fleet is due to be complete around 2035.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why has it taken so long to replace the Mangusta?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Because the decision was repeatedly deferred and then the aircraft was developed slowly. A replacement was already being discussed in the 2000s; the launch contract came only in January 2017, the first flight slipped from 2020 to August 2022, and the final production tranche was approved in October 2025. By the time the first Fenice reaches a regiment in 2027 the Mangusta will have been Italy\\u2019s only attack helicopter for about thirty-seven years. The upside is that the AW249 is genuinely new \\u2014 eight tonnes, three hours\\u2019 endurance, designed from the start to control drones and loitering munitions.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Where is the Italian Army Aviation based?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The command, the training centre, the 1\\u00b0 Reggimento \\\"Antares\\\", the 3\\u00b0 Reggimento special operations helicopters and the support brigade are all at Viterbo. The 5\\u00b0 Reggimento \\\"Rigel\\\" is at Casarsa della Delizia in Friuli, the 7\\u00b0 \\\"Vega\\\" at Rimini, the 2\\u00b0 \\\"Sirio\\\" at Lamezia Terme, the 4\\u00b0 \\\"Altair\\\" at Bolzano with a permanent detachment at Venaria Reale, and there is a further detachment at Cagliari-Elmas. Support regiments sit at Bracciano, Bologna and Orio al Serio.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why are the regiments named after stars?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"They are. Antares, Sirio, Aldebaran, Altair, Rigel, Vega, and below them squadron groups called Ercole, Tucano, Pegaso, Cefeo, Mercurio, Capricorno, Cigno, Pavone, Giove, Orsa Maggiore, Toro and Auriga. The naming is a navigational conceit that fits an arm whose whole job is to find its way across country at low level, and it has stuck since the reorganisation of the mid-1970s.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is ITALAIR?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"ITALAIR is the Italian army helicopter unit attached to the United Nations force in Lebanon, based at Naqoura on the coast since 3 July 1979. It flies reconnaissance, liaison, transport and medical evacuation for UNIFIL, and it is the longest continuous deployment in Italian military aviation \\u2014 more than forty-five years without a break. It moved to a new heliport, the New Land site, in July 2009. Crews rotate from the AVES regiments, mainly the 2\\u00b0 \\\"Sirio\\\".\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Has the Italian Army Aviation lost people on operations?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes, and the two worst losses are well documented. On 6 August 1997 an ITALAIR AB-205 crashed on a night flight between UN positions in south Lebanon, killing Maggiore Antonino Sgr\\u00f2, Maggiore Giuseppe Parisi, Primo Maresciallo Massimo Gatti, Brigadiere Daniel Forner and the Irish sergeant John Lynch. On 31 May 2005 an AB-412 came down in bad weather south-east of Nasiriyah in Iraq, killing Massimiliano Biondini, Marco Briganti, Marco Cirillo and Giuseppe Lima. Italy has not published an AVES-specific casualty figure for Afghanistan and we do not estimate one.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is the Italian Army Aviation the same as the Italian Air Force?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"No, and the distinction has a legal history. Until 1956 the Aeronautica Militare had a statutory monopoly on military flying, and the army could fly only what the air force permitted. The law was then rewritten to reserve to the air force only fixed-wing aircraft above 1,500 kg, which left helicopters open; the army built its whole air arm in that gap. The name still shows it: the arm was called light army aviation until 12 June 1993.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Who trains Italian Army helicopter pilots?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Basic rotary-wing training is done by the air force. Its 72\\u00b0 Stormo taught every Italian military helicopter pilot \\u2014 army, navy, air force, Carabinieri, police, customs and fire service \\u2014 at Frosinone from 1955, and moved the school to Viterbo on 15 January 2026. Type conversion and tactics are then done by the army\\u2019s own Centro Addestrativo AVES at Viterbo, with the 1\\u00b0 Gruppo Squadroni \\\"Auriga\\\".\"}}]}<\/script><hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Continue the tour<\/div>\n<h2>Read the aircraft the Italian Army Aviation flew<\/h2>\n<p class=\"spx-lede\">Every type with a page in the Book of Beasts, in service first, then by the year it left the fleet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"acgrid\"><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/ch-47-chinook\/\"><span class=\"im ph4\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Boeing ICH-47F Chinook<span class=\"nflag nf8\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Built in the United States\"><\/span><\/b><em>In service<\/em><\/span><\/a><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/ch-47-chinook\/\"><span class=\"im ph14\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Boeing (Elicotteri Meridionali) CH-47C Chinook<span class=\"nflag nf8\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Built in the United States\"><\/span><\/b><em>1973&ndash;2021<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section style=\"padding:48px 0 64px\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Sources &amp;
